Christianity emerged nearly two thousand years ago in ancient Palestine, profoundly influencing human history. Yet, the origins remain elusive. How did Jesus, a first-century Jew, ignite a new religion? This question is one of history's greatest mysteries. Traditionally, the birth of Christianity has been linked to the miracle of the Resurrection, where Jesus, after his death, was raised by God and appeared to his disciples, urging them to spread the gospel. Witnessing the Risen Jesus solidified their belief, leading to the rapid spread of Christianity across the Middle East and Europe, eventually dominating much of the world. However, historians struggle to explain this success without the Resurrection as a catalyst. If no one truly saw the Risen Jesus, what convinced his followers of his immortality? Art historian Thomas de Wesselow has dedicated seven years to unraveling this puzzle, reconstructing a new understanding of Christianity's origins. By reassessing a familiar yet misunderstood historical source and reinterpreting biblical passages, he reveals that the answer has been overlooked for over a century: the Shroud of Turin, often dismissed as a fake, is authentic and holds the key to this enduring mystery.
